Hector & Hector is of Italian-French origin, French on his mother’s side and currently lives partly in the South of France in the Var region and partly on the Tyrrhenian coast of Tuscany but he often travels and works also in Hungary for family reasons.

In Budapest two one-man shows are being prepared during this year with posters from the Hungarian cinema. At the start of his career as an artist he began as a boy by painting clowns and circus people. He later collaborated with theatre and cinema artists.He lived in Paris for some time and then returned to Italy to devote himself to the humanities which led to a degree from Florence in 1986.

In France he came in contact with the Nouveau R�alisme movement and is still fascinated by great poster artists like Raymond Hains, Villegl�, Dufr�ne, Arman and began in Italy to admire the works of Mimmo Rotella and in France to work on cinema and theatre posters and fashion magazines adding oriental prints, fabrics and pieces of raw hemp immersed in resin.

I am a college student at the University of Houston, Downtown taking general core classes. I took a few semesters of art classes in high school but since then I haven’t taken art. I have never had an exhibition, but on March 19th I will be displaying some of my art at Rice University in Houston, TX for the eve of the Iraq invasion. My art generally focuses on the war’s effect on Iraqis. I have a lot of inspiration and I am fond of the works of Californian artist David Miller (www.davidmillerart.com), among others. I put together a video of my artwork set to music of Irish singer / songwriter Ro Tierney in light of the fifth year anniversary of the Iraq War.

A Dreamscape is the Faux-Reality -World- that
exists within a dream. Those capable of lucid dreaming claim to be able
to control this world and indeed reshape it and its inhabitants. Several
psychological studies have been carried out to on how the dreamscape
differs from waking perception.

Deadline for submissions: 22nd March 2008
Festival period 30th October until 09th November 2008, Festival Theatre Hellerau
Awards Ceremony: 30th October 2008, Festival Theatre Hellerau

TMA Hellerau hosts this international competition of CYNETart, inviting artists and art groups to present their projects, every two years. They can apply with projects that fully utilise digital technologies in their conceptual, creative and performing processes, thereby opening up opportunities for digital performance and their relationship to factors such as time, space, physical presence and social encounters. An international jury with representatives from well-established media culture institutions and experienced scientists with a background in media art history will decide about the winner of the CYNETart-award and the sponsorship award. It will also decide on the award of the artist-in-residence-scholarship funded by the Ministry of Culture. On the occasion of the Chess Olympiad 2008 in Dresden (12th until 25th November 2008) we will together with Zentrum Mikroelektronik Dresden AG (ZMD) tender a so-called chess-media-art-award for the amount of �5.000 for the first time.
